Dating should be simple; like hanging out with a friend only more mushy. And dumb. Rainbow Dash doesn't need or want any of that. At least that's what she says, but the way her heart jumps around Twilight might just disagree with her.

Twilight Sparkle is a Princess of Equestria, living in Canterlot to fulfill her duties. But it can be a lonely place without her friends, and her empty bed is making it harder and harder to sleep. Could she be missing something?

Twilight loves Rainbow Dash, and plans to tell her in a typical Twilight fashion — through science. But when Rainbow Dash doesn't react in the way she was expecting, it leaves her feeling heartbroken; one pony is left to pick up the pieces, as well as make Dash realise the truth.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

I know the whole 'copper and tellurium' joke has been done to death, but I wanted to do my own take on it. And then there's the fact I've never actually written any TwiDash before, despite constantly going on about how I think it is the best ship. So, I decided to rectify that.
